Is Atlantis hunting racist? Is Graham Hancock racist? Self-described alternative historian Dan Richards of the YouTube channel DeDunking objects to the fact that people who believe Atlantis was a real historical place are often associated with racism. He claims modern Atlantis hunting emerged as a very progressive endeavor, unassociated with colonisation. In this video I argue he is wrong, and address the question of whether Atlantis hunting and Graham Hancock are racist.
